Humans in the military steer aircraft from the ground now... is it really that far fetched to believe "they" steer them with their consciousness?
I was explaining the new whistleblower claims to my spouse and she was like "oh yeah, like the military people control their drones in the sky." and i hadn't even thought about that.
We have people steering craft in the sky now. If "they" are from the future, is it really so hard to believe that "they" have figured out how to steer a craft with their mind? think about the technological leap from first flight to landing on the moon.
Anyway just my two cents from an under-qualified dude thinking about life.
